Raise your hand if you love music, singing and having fun with like-minded people!!
If this is you, then you’ll love the Share Music break.
That’s right, Share Music is back in 2024. Changing from the previous February slot, this year’s break will take place 4th – 6th November and you’re all invited.
This fully accessible break is tailored to people with disabilities who enjoy music and wish to participate in exciting music-making alongside others. Everyone takes part, whether it’s playing an instrument, singing along, dancing, or thriving off the fun atmosphere. Participants spend time in groups writing and practising songs that contribute to an overall theme before coming together for a final grand performance.
The fun isn’t limited to music. Everyone will also have the option of taking part in an accessible adventure activity at the Calvert Exmoor centre; perhaps an adrenaline-filled abseiling, climbing or zip-wiring session, or maybe archery for a more relaxed experience.
The whole break is self-contained on one site in stunning North Devon, next to the beautiful Wistlandpound Reservoir on the edge of Exmoor National Park (with famous beaches a short drive away). It’s the perfect remote location to sing at the top of your lungs and play instruments loudly and proudly.
